Transforming what is possible in neuroscience

Founded in late 2018 through a partnership with Pfizer and Bain Capital, Cerevel Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that combines a deep understanding of the biology and neurocircuitry of the brain with advanced chemistry and central nervous system (CNS) receptor pharmacology to discover and develop new therapies.

We seek to transform the lives of people suffering from neuroscience diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and schizophrenia, through the development of novel therapies. We have built a highly experienced team of seasoned leaders and neuroscience drug developers who combine a nimble, results-driven biotech mindset with expertise in clinical design and execution as well as drug discovery and development.

Our mission: push boundaries, develop solutions and transform lives.

Unraveling the mysteries of the brain

Twenty years of research and investment by Pfizer, supported by an initial capital commitment from an affiliate of Bain Capital and a keystone equity position from Pfizer, has resulted in our broad and diverse pipeline, which is comprised of preclinical and five clinical-stage therapeutic candidates directed toward the treatment of various neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and schizophrenia.

With our unique heritage, we are powered to advance our current research and development programs while exploring new modalities through internal research efforts and external collaborations.
